Various reading activities and events are held across the country on this day. For example, some students take part in a Read Across America channel designed to showcase student and educator videos around the country. Others make reading pledges, organize book fairs, or read aloud to groups of people.

Saturday March 2nd is also Dr. Seuss' birthday! Most schools that plan to take part will feature some his most famous stories and some even plan breakfast complete with green eggs and ham!
